Travelling to Edinburgh Yarn Festival

Edinburgh Corn Exchange is situated to the south west of the city centre, very near the junction between Slateford Road and Chesser Avenue. Some of our classes will be held in 2 other venues, close to the main venue, between 5 and 15 mins' walk (no steps).

BY AIREdinburgh International Airport Destinations/Airlines - great transport links and the journey time to the city centre is approx. 30 mins by tram or Airlink Bus (number 100). The number Lothian Bus 35 actually connects the airport and the venue direct, so it's feasible to fly in for the day :)

BY TRAINThe nearest main line station is Edinburgh Haymarket. The same buses go from outside both Edinburgh Waverley (Princes St) and Haymarket Stations. (see BY BUS)For those coming from Glasgow, the train from Glasgow Central stops at Slateford Station, which is a 2 minute walk from the venue. Please check ScotRail for details. (Note that Slateford Station is unstaffed and access is via stairs.)

BY BUSLothian Buses is Edinburgh's main bus operator and the number 35 stops right on the doorstep of the Corn Exchange. It runs right through the city from the north east, up the Royal mile, and out to the airport. From Princes St or Haymarket, take the 4, 34, 44 or 44A to Slateford Station, 2 minutes' walk from the venue. Check the Lothian Buses website for full time tables.

BY COACH: You can also travel by coach to Edinburgh City Centre and choose one of the local transport options to get to the venue. The Bus Station is located at St Andrews Square in the heart of the city, allowing quick access to local buses and trains.

BY CARThe postcode for the Corn Exchange is EH14 1RJ. The venue has around 400 parking spaces, but please note we can't guarantee that the car park will have room for all, as it is well used! Plenty of free on-street parking is available within walking distance. We highly recommend using public transport to get to the festival.
